The local committee on Fourth of July
celebration has had overtures from Mo-
line for a joint celebration on the day Of
national independence, but the probabill
ties are that Rock Island will go it on
its own hook, and have a celebration of
its own. The prevailing impression is
that this is the better policy. Rock Island
is capable of having a fine display and
exhibition independent of other cities and
the probabilities are that it will do so this
year. The city will do the celebrating
and the outsiders will be guests on that
day The committee has mapped out a
programme which will entail an expense
of about 81 900, which must be raised by
popular subscription and canvass is now
being made of the city with that end in
view.

Frank Wilkeson, in his very interesting
book, entitled "Recollections Of Private

lowing paragraphs give the citizen an idea Of
what glory costs the soldier:

rested against it. He was very tired, and
held his rifle loosely in his hand. The Con-
federates were directly in our 'front.' This
soldier was apparently in perfect safety. A
solid shot from Confederate gun struck the
oak tree squarely, about four feet from the
ground, but it did not have sufficient force to
tear through the tough wood The soldier

He was killed by conclusion While We were
fighting savagely over these intrenchments

many of our wounded burned to death.

not at all sure of that. The smoke rolled
heavily and slowly before the fire 1t envel-
oped the wounded, and think that by far
the larger portion of the men who were
roasted were suffocated before the flames
curled round them. The spectacle was cour-
age sarping and pitiful, and it appealed
strongly to the imagination of the spec
